    There is a new US political term, Blue Dog Democrats. Who coined it and what does it mean?

    Question #107292. Asked by star_gazer. (Jul 21 09 11:36 PM)

    		"Blue Dog Democrat" is derived from the term "Yellow Dog Democrat." Former Texas Democrat Rep. Pete Geren is credited for coining the term, explaining that the members had been "choked blue" by "extreme" Democrats from the left
